Seeing as Aus play Pakistan tonight (Thursday) in Adelaide (forgotten about this one, hadn't we?) and play NZ on Monday (morning, our time) in NZ, I reckon not a hope in hell.

Scorchers favorites to win this being 81/1 in 8. Need 61 from 70 with 9 wickets intact.

Perth Scorchers win by 9 wickets and 25 balls. Match winning 71 not out by Klinger. One sided match.

Well played Perth Scorchers, good work Justin Langer and assistant coaches.

been a few of these in the latter stages of both mens and womens comps. Obviously the Heat/Sixers SF was a belter, but it was the exception rather than the rule. I guess the challenge for a very short format is to find a way to reduce the number of poor matches, whether that is by further manipulation of the fielding restrictions or some other device.

Neutral venues could help make a match slightly more competitive as it takes home advantage away.

Ian Bell at the crease when winning both the semi and final. Sure he'll be thrilled with a winners medal downunder. Another 'domestic ' final win to add to his tally with Warks.

Justin Langer and his team of assistant coaches will also be benefited whenever global T20 teams / franchisees will look to recruit better coaching staff.

Didn't realise Klinger started his FC career 18 years ago. Such a shame he has never been picked for Australia.

Why isn't Whiteman ever put into the mix for a berth behind the sticks for Australia? Seems to be the only Australian who isn't.
